Dodge-JS

I am currently working on my bachelors thesis which will be based on a JavaScript-based-peer-to-peer network. As a preparation for this I had to look into certain frameworks and get my basics with JavaScript refreshed.

One thing I had to learn is called require.js, there will be a blog post about it soonish. To get that down I wrote a little game. I call it Dodge-JS. You are a little block and have to dodge falling blocks. Some kids really liked it so I also implemented a leader board. Give it a try. I am warning you though, you may get addicted.

Once you die enter you name to have your score (time you survived) entered into the score board. Revisit or refresh the page, to play again.

Extending Brackets

#brackets#extensions#themes

For some time now Brackets has been my Editor of choice for web projects.

For those of you who don't know it. It is a HTML5 based editor. Using it you develop with the web, for the web. Alongside many great features like quick edit for styles and just generally being awesome to code HTML, CSS and JavaScript the thing that makes me really love it is it's live preview that can show you in real time how your changes to your code will look. With the new 0.42 Version Brackets now supports Designs, or Themes if you want to call them that. Due to that I revisited my Plugins and thought I would share what I am using.

Object-oriented JavaScript

#js#oop

Attention: This is kinda "old" and I personally now consider this to bad style so I won't make the effort to reformat this after moving from Wordpress to Hexo.

This Tutorial strives to enable you to build object oriented applications in JavaScript. Another goal of mine is to give you a deeper understanding of the language and principles at work. If you just want som code to copy-past and understand it while you got refer to section 7.

Prompting made me a better communicator

#GenerativeAI#Gedanken eines Baums
"Prompting bridges communication" - generated using Midjourney
"Prompting bridges communication" - generated using Midjourney

Prompt Engineering has become a passion topic of mine. It's super fun to tinker with GenAI, to ask it questions and to optimize the way that I ask those questions.

The basic of Prompt Engineering are simple:

  1. Task specify a task that you want the LLM to do for you.
  2. Context give the chatbot the context that it needs to complete your task.
  3. Format how do you want the LLM to respond to you? A bullet point list? A table? A slide deck? a blogpost?
  4. Process if you already know a great process to solve the problem, tell the AI to follow it. If you don't, at least give it room to think.
